+1 Displaced Starfleet Captain

[decker_unit]

This... wasn't right.

The last thing Captain Willard Decker remembers was standing in front of Voyager 6... No, standing in front of V'Ger, inputting the final sequence. Was this what happened when he joined with V'ger? If that's the case...

He looks around, confused, as though searching for something, scanning the crowd.

Nothing.

A frown crosses Decker's face, and he looks around once more, before shifting, and approaching someone.

"Excuse me, sorry for interrupting, but... Where am I?"

"Well..." He looks around, spotting a monitor nearby. "There may be a way to find out." It's a long shot. For all he knows, Starfleet considers him dead.

[bob_fraser_rcmp]

As a policeman, he's interested in finding more. And well, he's not aware of any laws against old officers looking something up.

So he gives his silent consent to Decker's notion.

[decker_unit]

"This way."

He's not that bothered if the man follows him or not, but he walks over to the screen and activates it, frowing at the display.

"The interface is very different than from what I'm used to." He remarks, before clearing his throat. If all else fails, voice commands should work.

"Computer, initiate command override. Authorisation: Decker, Willard Captain. Juliet-Delta-4-Tango-Tango."

An acknowledging beep.

"Command code accepted. Security lockouts bypassed."

"...Seems Starfleet don't disable the codes of dead officers any more." He remarks, idly, starting to slowly browse through the unfamiliar interfaces.

He followed him. "I manage," he said, slightly unimpressed. "And I'm dead."

He waited for the acknowledging beep. "Maybe, with all that's happened, they've chosen not to," he suggested. Certainly wouldn't make sense otherwise. At least to him. Maybe they've gotten so good at telling these things are from the actual people.

[decker_unit]

"Perhaps." He responds, distractedly, starting to access files. "And dead, you say?" He glances over to Bob, frowning slightly. "This Q has the power to bring back the dead?"

And that question gets interrupted as the interface gets locked out. Will smiles slightly. "Ah, it seems someone on the bridge is paying attention after all."

[bob_fraser_rcmp]

He rolled his eyes. "I'm not back from the dead, son," he grumbles. "I am dead. You make me sound like a zombie." Or Jesus Christ, which was worse.

[decker_unit]

"So you're...?" And there's a slight look of realisation on Decker's face. "Well... I'm going to have to deal with Security, or a very angry command officer on the Bridge in a few minutes... Would you mind if we came back to this subject? I'd be very interested in learning more."

[bob_fraser_rcmp]

He gives him an 'are you serious?' look but shrugged. "All right, son," and he's gone.
